Biology

Paraphin [41]2 years ago

Answer:

Yes (but not how you think)

Explanation:

I'm assuming that you mean if nuclear fusion, where two atoms (in this case mostly hydrogen) fuse into one heavier atom, and release a lot of energy.

However, fusion happens when there is a tremendous amount of pressure or heat. This is found in the core

The 5 million degrees is found on the surface of the sun, but at the core, it is at 15 million degrees.

In addition, the pressure is so extreme that if forces atoms to become one, despite the fact they don't like being together (try finding 2 strong magnets and hold them so that they try to repel each other and try and make them touch, it's hard! Now imagine having to put a million of times the amount of strength!)

So, the sun is capable of nuclear fusion, but at the core, where it is 15 million degrees!

(fun fact: scientists are trying to build "mini-suns" called Fusion reactors to try and harvest the power of the sun!)

Which feature of enceladus and europa would indicate the possible presence of life?
daser333 [38]

Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons of only about 314 miles in diameter hides in its entrails an ocean of liquid water that is rich in organic molecules, making it one of the places where it is most likely to find some form of extraterrestrial life.

Europa is a strange shaped moon of Jupiter with a large number of intersecting lines. Models from the interior of Europe show that under a thin crust of 5 km (3 miles) of water ice, Europa can have oceans with 50 km (30 miles) of depth or more. The visible marks of Europa could be the result of a global expansion where the crust could have been fractured, filled with water and frozen.
